Tessera, now in color!!

I'd be curious to learn more for sure :p Excuse my rambling I'm sort of thinking out loud here.

So if I have this right... Even if there is a visually identifiable "super" version, a genetic super version should still be possible? (using Tt for gene reference) if you bred two regular Tessara's (Tt) you'd get %50 tessara (Tt) %25 normal (tt) and %25 "super" Tessara (TT) which should still produce ALL Tessaras when bred to a normal animal (of any color which could be kinda cool)


See THIS is why I want to get seriously into cornsnakes :p I LOVE these sorts of genetics!
 
I know I sound like a broken record... but those aren't cornsnake head patterns.

Look at the "normal" Upper left corner:

And even the grey rat genetics from the Ultramel breeding doesn't explain that.:shrugs:
 
Those hatchlings are AMAZING! I, too, have a serious case of snake envy :). I seriously can't decide which one I like best.

I wonder how many years it will take until they're (in any color form) abundant enough for the average non-breeder collector to be able to get one for their collection?
 
OK...the snow tessera is lovely, the anery tessera is superb, but I'm really loving that ultramel tessera!

Yes, the head pattern of the anery and the normal aren't usual corn patterns, but then again, very few Sunkissed head patterns could be considered "normal" either. Plus, when you are dealing with a gene that affects the pattern as much as this one does, one would not be surprised that the head pattern is also affected.

Is there some discussion/disagreement on wether they are actually a true corn snake or if they're a hybrid?
 
Congratulations Don!! They are simply amazing!

I'd like to hear thoughts from any Tessera "expert" about the difference between
animals with a solid, continuous stripe and those with a broken stripe, or a pattern
such as pictured here, with the central stripe having an Aztec-like appearance.
What causes the difference? Do they all have the same genetics? Is one favorable?
(No, I haven't digested the recent post by Don about Tessera stripes.
I have it printed out, but haven't read it well enough to comprehend it).

where Nanci? I'd like to see :)

So, the Tessera parent must only be het for Tessera, otherwise all the offspring would be Tessera, not just 50%. Dominant traits only need one allele to show the trait. It the parent in homozygous dominant, then all offspring would carry one allele and show the trait.

Interesting . . .

Whoops, I see Trina was discussing the same thing above. I missed that ~LOL~

Abel82, I think corn snake head patterns are highly variable. I mean, a lot of bloodreds have "bald" heads and sunkisseds very often have unusual head patterns.
 
Beautiful......

If only the family didn't persist in their stubborn habits of eating and requiring clothes, and other such superfluities perhaps I could snag myself a snow tessera!
 
WOW ! ! They are beautiful - Love the snow Tessera. Nichole and I were talking about colored Tessera's and now here are some - INCREDIBLE,
thanks for the posting,
Marsha
 
I'm lovin' that Ultramel Tessera... I won't be producing any Tessera combos until this coming season... nice to finally see the projects producing. Awesome snakes...

Due to the fact you can get Tesseras with the first breeding of Tessera X Anything...I imagine you'll see them much faster than you would something that is recessively based. I.e Tessera X Snow gives you Tesseras het snow....raise them up, breed them to a snow and and you've got Tessera amels, anerys and snows as well as normal tesseras.
 
If I lived in an alternate universe where I had unlimited funds, I would love making carmel tesseras. I love the coloring on caramels.

My favorite corns are fires, though, and I wonder what the diffused trait would look like with the tesseras...A fire tessera could be very interesting.
